Berbuk’s 8th trip to Ukraine/Berlin reassured Kiev
reported by Mehr News Agency According to Reuters, German Foreign Minister Analena Berbock, who arrived in Kyiv today (Monday), pledged that Berlin’s support for Ukraine will continue.
According to Berbuk, Ukraine, which is going through its third winter of war, needs support to ensure its survival. Berbock’s visit to Ukraine took place on the eve of the 2024 US presidential election, which will be held tomorrow, and the possibility of Donald Trump’s victory, the former president of this country, has intensified concerns about the reduction or even termination of Washington’s support for Kiev.
Barbok said at the beginning of his eighth trip to Ukraine: “We will fight this cruelty with our humanity and support, so that Ukrainians will not only survive the winter, but also this country can continue to survive.” . Because they are defending the freedom of all of us in Europe.
Germany is considered the second biggest supporter of Ukraine after the United States and has close cooperation and coordination with Washington in supporting this country. However, if Trump wins against Kamala Harris, the Democratic candidate in tomorrow’s US elections, this coordination and cooperation will probably slip. Trump has always criticized the level of US military aid to Ukraine and has refused to say that he wants “victory” for Kiev and has claimed that if he wins the election, he will immediately end the war through negotiations.
During this trip, the senior German diplomat is going to meet with Volodymyr Zelensky, the president of Ukraine, as well as Andriy Sibiha, the foreign minister of this country. Berbuk recently said that Berlin will extend emergency energy aid to the country by increasing the dedicated budget to 170 million euros in response to Russia’s attacks on thermal power plants and power towers in Ukraine.
Russia has escalated attacks against Ukraine since August, and Kiev officials say Moscow plans to destroy critical heating infrastructure needed in winter.
Barbuk added: Russia will pay billions of euros for the damage it has caused, but until then, the Group of Seven (G7) will support Kiev with a loan of around 50 billion dollars. will do.
